Anchor Locker Washdown

For your convenience, there is a fitting located
at the bow in the anchor locker which allows for
the connection of a common garden hose. This
connection allows for the use of fresh water at the
bow of your boat. It is important that the cap which is
tethered to the connection be screwed onto the fi tting
when it is not being used.
The "FRESHWATER PUMP" breaker located on the
DC Breaker Panel in the cabin (See page 4-7) must
be ON to operate the freshwater washdown.

utilizes the boat's fresh water system to provide a
cooling mist of fresh water throughout the helm and
cockpit as well as the forward lounge area.
The system is activated by the "ACC 3" switch on
the helm switch panel (See fi g. 2.22.1).
